Once again, Ohio proves that they are the most corrupt, incompetent, and screwed up state in the nation when it comes to running elections. The Chinese and other dictatorships all around the world concur, Ohio--you are the envy of every fixed election all across the world. We salute you!
CLEVELAND -- Ohio's first election without punch card ballots was marred by a slew of problems with new voting machines, raising a crucial question: Can the state that decided the last presidential race get it together before November?
Election officials had trouble printing ballot receipts, finding lost votes and tabulating election results in Tuesday's primary. Some election workers were late or did not show up at all in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County, the state's largest. Others could not figure out how to turn on the machines.
"Ohio's quickly getting this reputation as most corrupt and maybe most incompetent," said Chris Link, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, which fielded dozens of complaints from voters.
Tuesday's primary was the first in which all 88 counties used either touch-screen machines or devices that scan ballots marked by voters.
Glitches were reported across the state, and a few local races remained undecided Wednesday while counting continued. The number of outstanding votes was too small to affect races for governor, Congress and statewide offices.
Can we just shut the state down and try again from scratch?
It just doesn't seem like things are really getting better on many fronts anytime soon.
